POPUP

[Shervin]

Hi !
Each time i turn on or restart pc a window comes up,
(the folder named Program with the all programs folders
i've installed in it ). And the problem is that it takes
a long time before it shows up like a "popup", and i cant
open any folder, file or a program until i see that
window.
The kazaa folder used to comes up too, but i fixed it by
changin the startup tool !!

Start here:

Click Start, Run and enter MSINFO32.EXE Go to Software Environment, Startup
Programs. The Command column will show you the exact command line used. If
you see one that uses a long file name/path with spaces in it, and its not
enclosed in quotes, you've found the culprit.

To correct, go to Start/Run/Regedit and place them in quotes.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run

As for the Programs folder itself, this generally happens when you install
older software and the program was written to the Programs folder.

Advice on top of Kelly's is to uninstall KaZaa.
Full of Adware and since it's wide open P2P the majority of your downloads
have viruses, trojans, worms, and other forms of malware.
